Excellent gun. I have only put about 50-60 rounds through it so far, but I am very impressed with its "out of the box" accuracy. I was also concerned about the recoil, but found that it is very managable, actually much less recoil than my 1911.
As far as the "Bud's" experience,( first time purchasing a gun from them and first online firearm purchase), I am satisfied.
The electronic check process took longer than I had hoped, but I was also told how long it could take when I decided to make the purchase under this option.

I put 100 rounds of Winchester FMJ through the new XD45 compact the day after I got it. No problems, and it ran just as well dirty as when clean. I like it because the ergonomics are better than that of my Glock. This feels like pointing your finger. I have no buyers remorse on this purchase. Great value for the dollar.

XD 45 compact: Love it, fits my hands perfect, kinda same grip angle as a 1911, very well balanced, i dont use any of the accesories but it was nice to get that stuff. If you are buying this gun also look at the thumb saftey one. i know some people like to have that, but not having the thumb safty makes it a better conceal and carry in my opinion. Ive put 300rds through it the first weekend i had it, no issues. i recomend it!.

XD 45 compact: I love this gun. Just as I was shopping for a Glock I decided to keep an open mind and checked out the springfield XD line. After reading several favorable reviews and finally wrapping my hands around an XD 45 I was sold. This gun fires like butter. The trigger pull is extremely smooth and the pistol as a whole is well balanced. but the most surprising thing was the low recoil. I expected this gun to want to jump out of my hands like most .45s but this xd felt more like a 9mm in my opinion. Accuracy was a bit off but that is not the guns fault, we'll chalk that one up to my piss poor marksmanship. Like a new golf club, me and my pistol need more time to get to know one another. the two mags are a big plus. I can use the 13 round mag for work making this xd a service pistol. even with the 10 round mag the grip fits into my girlish hands with comfort and the XD45 becomes a great CCW piece. The holster, mag load assist and mag pouch are a nice bonus but dont expect them to be blackhawk quality. they will work for light duty stuff. This gun wears great with the Blackhawk serpa retention holster.
My order arrived at my FFL in 3 business days. I ended up paying $100 less for my XD45 than the asking price of most gun shops in my area. Will surely buy from Buds again.

The Springfield 45ACP 4" Compact is the best of all worlds: 10-round mag does not print for concealed carry; 13 round mag can hold and deliver a good deal of lead! The gun shoots well right out of the box. The two-stage recoil spring enables the gun to be very manageable. It eats all kind of ammo. The sights are fine, and field-stripping is a breeze. Fits like a glove in my hand -- very 1911-like. It's the only polymer gun that I own, and perhaps the only one I'll ever own since I lean toward classic handguns. BUT, the XD 45 is my main CCW.
Buds has the best prices on the Net. Very happy with Buds. (I have another purchase in transit at this time.)

This was my first gun purchase from Buds.I ordered my XD on Fri and picked it up on Wed.The gun was definetly brand new and exactly what I ordered.The price was about $100 cheaper than what I would have paid locally including tax.Took it to the range and fired 150 rounds of WWB without a problem,accurate at 10 and 25 yards.This is going to replace my SR9 as my CCW. The only problem with this deal was the FRAUD email I got from buds over the weekend.This probably wasn't Buds fault,but I have bought alot of stuff online before and never had to check my CC two times a day to see if any fraudulent charges are on there.So far no problems (knock on wood).All in all a great gun,price and fast shipping from Buds.I will buy more guns from Buds but I think I will probably pay by money order.
